the files uploading are the exact same file you are downloading. Have you checked in the preferences, to see that 'both' the download folder, and the incomplete folder are set out side the savefile? As it's easy to forget about the incomplete one.

Lobster. I have had several times the same problem. Download folder has been outside savefile. Still sometimes savefile is used up. And I havent find any files in savefile, which has taken up the space. I have tried commandline file listings with several +10 Mb - +100Mb settings. No clue.
You can check the contents of /root/.config/transmission. If you havent specified the download folder, you might find something inside that folder which takes space.

hi lobster,,
the files uploading are the exact same file you are downloading.

Sausages! [Lobsterian swearing]

OK well then the files in the image are new . . . What are they are about?

I am quite sure the files is being downloaded to a hard disk partition
separate to the save file partition altogether.
What I was wondering is if the image is paused, then it would still be 'in bits' or packages from different seeders to be reassembled?
So where are these paused bits stored before reassembly?
My feeling is in the save file . . . but for Puppy they should be stored on HD, memory or a swap file? Some files are 2 gigs or more . . .

And this has happened with transmission only.
I have had to delete the used up savefile.

Yep that is exactly what happened to me. I want a refund!
- or at least know what is taking up the space . . . _________________Puppy WIKI

Oh I found some big ones
googleearth and google chrome (both programs I had uninstalled)
were also hanging around.
deleted these big files
including some in .folders (that is hidden folders which are preceded with a dot)
that can be as you know but others might not, 'revealed' by clicking on the eye symbol in rox . . .

However the disk usage icon bottom right
is still on yellow alert
I do remember there was some problem with this displaying the right info in Lucid but I thought this was solved

in the preferences, have you ticked the box ...."keep incomplete torrents in" and then designated a folder?

that is useful and a good plan for next time
have changed the settings

Thanks guys . . . still wondering what is keeping my personal storage file so huge . . .
I have updated it twice and it is over 2 gig and I think Barry has mentioned it is not stable if over some size . . ._________________Puppy WIKI

I think that the default place that transmission keeps it's incomplete files is in /root/downloads

a search of the 'file system' with 'searchmonkey' (had trouble with pfind) for

Code:

.part

will reveal any incomplete torrents. Note that even though the torrent is incomplete, that part file will still be the same size as the complete file. So even if you've only downloaded say 5mb's of a 200mb file, the incomplete .part file will still be 200mb

I've had the same problem... Gdmap showed me that files that Transmission had removed were moved into
/initrd/mnt/dev_save/.Trash_0/files. My save file was freed up once I deleted the contents of that directory.
